Local Plan 2040 Draft Plan - Strategy options and draft policies consultation

Representation ID: 5063

Received: 02/09/2021

Respondent: Mr Andrew Murray

Representation Summary:

This report contains critical errors and is flawed. Page 62 states "The more frequently flooded postcodes are MK40 2, MK41 6 and MK42 0" MK42 0 shows as having 1 Recorded Flood Incident but MK42 7 shows as having 9 Recorded Flood Incidents. Either the figures are recorded against the wrong postcode, or the figures are wrong.
Page 64 Table 5-3: Reservoirs with potential risk to Bedford Borough shows Woburn Road Wetlands Pond as owned by Bedfordshire
County Council - THIS IS WRONG.
On this basis is this report valid? Any planning decisions based on this report would be unsound.
